Determines whether a string is
lexically less than or equal to another string, based
on the ASCII collating sequence, even if the processor's default collating
sequence is different. In Compaq Fortran, LLE is
equivalent to the <= operator.

Class:

Elemental
function; Generic

Arguments:

STRING_A

Must be
of type character.

STRING_B

Must be of type
character.

Results:

The result is of type default logical. If
the strings are of unequal length, the comparison is made as if the
shorter string were extended on the right with blanks, to the length
of the longer string.

The result is true if the strings are equal, both strings are of
zero length, or if STRING_A precedes STRING_B in the ASCII collating
sequence; otherwise, the result is false.
